Hallo chaps
I'm wanting to install some electrics in the back garden, which will involve (hopefully) 1 plug socket outside the house, 3 plug sockets in a greenhouse (and possibly some low level lighting). I already have an armoured cable buried in the garden. To try and keep the cost down I wanted to buy and fit most of the plugs, switches, junction boxes etc myself, and then have a qualified electrician connect up & test everything. But before I buy all the bits at a local wholesaler I wanted to check that such a load can be met by simply taking the power from behind the double socket that is nearest my outside wall. I'd never use 4 x 13amp appliances all at the same time. Can someone tell me if there are limitations ampwise by doing it this way.
Many thanks.
